he men were American soldiers bound for some part of the country below. An American officer came to Cornwall the following day, making bitter complaints respecting the circumstance. We have no doubt every satisfaction that can reasonably be required will be given. If the boats were hailed and did not heave to, in times like the present, no blame whatever can be attached to the volunteers. They did no more than their duty." CANADA.—We received yesterday Montreal papers to the date of Monday last. The patriotism and courage of the invaders who had assembled at Napierville seem to have fled, if they ever had any, before even the appear ance of the British troops. Two columns, one under the immediate command of Sir John Colborne, from St. John's, and the other that of Colonel Love, from St. Valentine, reached Napierville on Saturday morning last at the same moment, and found the place deserted by no less than 4,000 men, who had col lected there—probably twice the number of their enemy, who now sought them. The two affairs which have al ready been mentioned by our correspondent at Whitehall would seem to have been of more importance than his let ters led us to expect. In both the attacks of the insurgents, they were repelled by the militia of the province alone. For the accounts from other parts of Lower Canada we refer to our extracts. The following letter was received yesterday : " L'Aeadie, Nov. 12, 1838. " Sir,—l am directed by his Excellency, Sir John Col borne, to acquaint you that the rebels who had assembled in arms in the district of Montreal, have been entirely dis persed by her Majesty's troops and volunteers.-1 have the honour to be, &c., " WILLIAM ROWAN, Military Secretary. " To James Buchanan, Esq., her Majesty's Consul, New York (From the Courier of the 12th.) On Saturday afternoon the annexed despatch reached town, announcing what was so much feared, that the rebel force had evacuated Napierville before the troops reached it. " Napierville, Nov. 10, 1838, Saturday 9 o'clock, A.M. Sir—i am directed by the Commander of the Forces to inform you that the force under his command has just arrived here. The rebels, to the number of 2,000 evacu ated the town about two hours ago, and about the same number had previously gone off, many of them having thrown away their arms. The cavalry are now in pursuit of the former, on the Chateauguay road. Colonel Love's column reached the town, from St. Valentine, at the same time with the head-quarter division. " I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obt. servant, " JOHN EDEN, D.A.G. " Col. Wetherell, C. 8., Commanding Montreal." Odletown, Nov. 8. " have the honour and the satisfaction to report to you, for the information of his Excellency the Com mander of the Forces, the successful result of an affair with the rebels, which took place this morning. The insurgents mustered 1,000 strong, under the personal command of Dr. Nelson. They attacked my advanced guard at Captain Weldon's, about a quarter to 11 A.M., upon which I im mediately directed the concentration upon Odletown church of the small force of 200 men under my command. The enemy extended around us, and kept up a sharp fire, which was as sharply answered. After an action of about two hours and a half, during which several brilliant sallies were made by the volunteers, the insurgents re treated, !cal ing 50 dead, and carrying off several wounded. " 1 regret to say that Captain M. Allister and four men have fallen, and that Lieutenant Odell and nine men have been wounded —none of the latter, however, are seriously injured. prision of high treason and treasonable practices, and of the suspension, for a limited time, as to such persons, of the Habeas Corpus Act. MONEY, MARKET, &c., Nov. 16. We have no change of any moment to notice in the Stock Market ; the business transacted yesterday was ra ther more extensive, and in a few irstances at a trifling im provement in prices, but the market generally for all de scriptions, not paying regular dividends, must be considered much depressed. United States Bank closed at 121+ ; Delaware and Hudson, 71+ ; Haarlem Railroad, 55} ; and Stonington Railroad at 40+, a decline of 1 per cent. on the closing price of the previous day. Sales were made of 10,000 dollars in 6 per cent. Treasury notes at k per cent. premium. . . . The packet ship St. Andrew, for Liverpool, being still de tained, some further sales of bills on London have been made for transmission by her at 91 to 9-3 per cent. prem., the pre vious rates. On France, for the packet leaving to-morrow, the rate of exchange ruled at sf. 20c., until the United States Bank had sold all its bills, when private houses refused to draw under of. 171 c., at which sales were made. The United States Bank, will, however, have a further supply of bills from Philadelphia to-day, when the rate will again be put at of. 20c. The Bowery Insurance Company has declated a divi dend of 4 per cent. for the last six months. Letters from Havre notice the sale of 100,000 dolls. Mexican, received by the packets from New York, at of. 35c. The banks of Quebec have suspended specie payments. The advices from Europe by the Great Western have as yet had, and probably will have, little or no effect on our markets generally. Flour was steady yesterday at the previous prices, with very limited inquiry, and cotton also remained without the least change, the Liverpool rates not warranting shipments to that port in the present state of this market. A good deal of uneasiness is evinced at the non-arrival of the Liverpool, that vessel being now out twenty-six days ; the impression appears to be that she has put into Halifax or some other port for coal.

It will be seen by the following despatch, which was received from Major Carmichael yesterday, that Beauhar nois has been retaken from the rebels, and that the pri soners taken with the Brougham steamer have been m ica: e I : "Beauharnois, Nov. 10, Ten o'Clock A.M. Sir,—l have the honour to acquaint you, for the infor mation of his Excellency the Commander of the Forces, that, in conjunction with Colonel I'hilpotts, a detachment of 1 officer of Engineers, 22 sappers and miners, 1 captain, 3 subalterns, 4 sergeants, 2 buglers, and 121 rank and file, 71st Regiment, with upwards of 1,000 Glengary men, were landed at Hungry Bay this morning, marchet', took Beauharnois, and rescued all the prisoners, with the excep tion of Messrs. Ellice, Brown, Normand, Ross, Norval, Bryson, Houndslow, and Surveyor, supposed to be at Cha teauguay, with the loss of one man killed and three wounded, of the 71st Regiment. " The men are very much fatigued, and we wait here for orders. "I have the honour to be, Sir, "Your most obedient humble servant, " L. CARMICHAEL, Colonel P. S. " Major Hill, Assistant Quartermaster-General." (From the Montreal Courier of Nov. 12.) By a private letter received yesterday we regret to learn that Mr. George Hay, a respectable farmer, residing on the banks of the Richelieu, about six miles above St. Va lentine, has been robbed by the rebels of all his moveable property, including his valuable stock of horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, &c. ; and that all the loyal inhabitants on that side of the river have experienced similar treatment. Mr. Hay's house had been used as a barrack for several days by about 200 of the rebels. The writer also states that about 100 of them have advanced about a quarter of a mile over the lines on the opposite side of the river, and taken their stand at a place called Beech Ride, near Al burgh. Besides being well armed, they have three pieces of cannon. The loyal inhabitants in that quarter are worn out with fatigue and harrassed with constant alarms. The Chambly mail carrier, who arrived yesterday after noon, reports that the volunteers had been fired upon by the rebels, and that Mr. Dixon, the post-master, had been obliged to fly to the fort for protection. Nine prisoners who have been arrested in the neighbour hood of St. John's, were brought to town yesterday after noon, by the Princess Victoria. Among these are two noted rebels, one named Mongeon, the other Bachard. E. R. Fabre and Dr. Lusignan, have also been arrested. Through the whole of yesterday very large volumes of smoke were visible in the direction of the Chateauguay, and last night a large portion of the heavens was illumined by an extensive blaze, which was visible in the direction of St. John's, supposed to be St. Athanase. The Brougham steamer, which was captured by the rebels, is a good deal crippled in her machinery, and was towed down to Lachine yesterday, the mail-bag from Upper Canada, that was on board of her, remained undiscovered and unopened, although its contents were valuable. It was brought into town yesterday. Considerable sensation was created in town yesterday by the arrival of Messrs. Ellice, L. G. Brown, R. H. Norval, John Macdonald, John L. Grant, John Bryson, John Ross, Houndslow, David Normand, 17r. Surveyor, and snot her whose name we did not learn, about whose safety some ap prehensions had been entertained. It appears that after their capture at Beauharnois, they were, as was supposed here, conveyed to Chateauguay, where they were con fined in a room from which daylight was carefully ex cluded, but they were allowed to have candles burning. During this time they were well treated by the Cure and the nuns, who were permitted to send them a profusion of luxuries from their larders and cellars. They were also allowed to send money for anything they wanted from the village. They were being conveyed in carts on Saturd ay , as they beli eve d to Napierville, and had reached La Pi- , geonniere, in the seigniory of St. George, when their escort, hearing of the evacuation of Napierville, left them them and fled. They were allowed to proceed in the same carts to Laprairie, and were even advised, it is said, by some of the older rebels, which road to take as the safest. They reached Laprairie about two o'clock yester day morning, and this city about ten. Extract from a letter, dated Quebec, Th urs d ay evening : " There are now in this city a good number of strangers, particularly Americans ; I learn that a few of them were arrested yesterday, but I did not hear for what cause. It appears that depositions have be en ma d e against several individuals in this city, who attend secret meetings, and that warrants have been y issued for th e i r appre h ension. " Morin has left the city. We have been favoured with the following extract of a letter, dated Sandwich, Oct. 30, 18:38: " All the Western and London districts are in a bustle ; 500 militia are called out at Chatham ; 350 are at P ort Saraia. All the militia here and at Amherstburgh are or dered to be in readiness at a minute's warning. The Lake Shore Militia are ordered out, and the whole of the troops at Amherstburgh have been working day and, night, and all last Sunday, g etti ng the f o rtifications ready. The official Gazette of the 9th inst. contains four ordi nances of Sir J. Colborne and his Special Council. The first is that authorizing the banks to suspend specie pay ment. Its provisions are similar to that issued on a former occasion, and its duration limited to the Ist of June next. The second ordinance authorizes the seizing and detaining for a limited time, of gunpowder, arms, weapons, lead, and munitions of war. The third ordinance authorizes Sir John Colborne to take such steps as he may deem necessary for the suppression of the rebellion, and to erect tribunals for the trial and punishment of the rebels. The fourth ordi nance authorizes the apprehension and detention of persons charged with high treason, suspicion of high treason, mis- TH.E SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1838. WAR IN SPAIN. A memorial is going the round in the City for signature, addressed to Lords Melbourne and Palmerston, as her Ma jesty's Principal Secretaries of State, on the subject of the barbarous and atrocious system of warfare now carrying on in Spain, and- grounding thereon an appeal to this, in con junction with all the civilized countries of Europe, to inter fere, and, if possible, to put a stop to so signal a disgrace:to humanity. A copy of it is subjoined, which tells its own story in such simple and affecting language as to render comment upon it perfectly unnecessary. It was offered to the Lord Mayor for signature on Saturday, and was im diately signed by him, with nearly all of the Court of Al dermen, and in the course of a few hours a great number of the most respectable names in the City were added to it : " My Lords,—We have the honour to entreat the most earnest consideration of your Lordships to the appalling condition of the Spanish people. .4 We have been brought together, without ref erence t o political or personal opinions, f or the expression of one senti ment common to us all. " War, even when waged in a righteous cause, against foreign aggression and under the conventional usages of civilized nations, is a desolating scourge ; but civil strife, where the children of the same soil and parents are arrayed against each other, magnifies the horrors of war, and ends in barbarism, misery, and degradation. " The kingdom of Spain is rapidly sinking into this con dition ; every arrival brings intelligence of cold-blooded and atrocious murders that hitherto were only known in the his tory of barbarous ages. " The pacification of that unhappy country appears to us to be the special province of those nations that rank fore most in power and enlightened policy, and whose position enables them to exercise a genial influence over the desti nies of weaker states. " In the name, therefore, of suffering humanity, we appeal through your Lordships to our most gracious Queen, and to the ruling powers of the civilized world, and do implore that such measures may be adopted by her Ma jesty's Government, in concert with her Majesty's allies, as shall extinguish a revolting warfare—one that for its cruelty and ferocity can scarcely be paralleled in the page of his. tory, and one that, while it continues, hardens the feelings of surrounding nations. " As men of all parties and opinions, we entreat your Lordships to regard this expression of strong feeling from the city of London, as a proof that its inhabitants consider this subject to be one of the highest order that can engage the attention of their fellow-men, and they trust that the general opinion throughout Europe is, that no policy can be merciful or just while it neglects the pacification of un happy Spain. 6; We have the honour to be, " Your Lordships' most obedient, humble, and devoted servants, "6 S. WILSON, Mayor, &c. " November, 1838. To the Right Hon. Lord Melbourne and Lord Pal. merston, her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State."— Times. REVOLUTION IN MEXICO. (From the New Orleans Courier, Oct. 24.) We have been favoured with the perusal of a letter lately received from Mexico, and have extracted a part of its contents in order to enable our readers to form an idea of the state of things in that country. " Several of our most distinguished politicians have greatly injured their popularity by throwing difficulties in the way of the Government at the present crisis, when th• nation is preparing to exert all its energies to resist the un just pretensions of a proud foreign Cabinet. They endea voured to bring about a revolution, but have been disco vered and arrested. They are now stigmatised as ' French Federalists.' " Orders have been despatched to march all the regi ments from the i n t er i or to the coast, where a considerable force of regular troops has already been collected. At cJa lapa are concentrated the regiments from the capital • an other large cities. There are, besides, 4,000 men in Vera Cruz, and 2,000 in the Castle. " The defenders of Vera Cruz are determined to be buried under its ruins sooner than give up the city. Great preparations are making for defence. General Rincon has pledged himself not to give up as long as there is a man alive. A spirit of enthusiasm and emulation prevails that calls to mind the most brilliant epochs of our war of in dependence?' We have been favoured with a copy of a letter from Tampico to a respectable mercantile house in this city ; the following is a translation : " We have to inform you that last night our garrison Pronounced for the re - establishment of the Federal Govern ment, and that General Pacdras, who was in command here, is going with several officers to your city in the vessel which carries this, having been driven of by the revolutionists. We know not if the revolution has it= ramifications in the interior, but it is thought it has. If this is so, and the troops here are seconded by others, the present Govern ment of Mexico must fall, and we shall have an arrange ment with France. " Everything has p assed off here in the greatest order. " We have no vessel s to blockade us. As soon as one appears the Revolutionists intend to let the captain know what they have done, and beg him not to prevent vessels coming in, as we are now in a stat e of rebellion against th e general Government. g The collector of the port has shown the editor a letter i r. from Tampico confirming this outb rea k , which is likely to be seconded o n the b yB h a of la orgecptobe party in the a rison of Ta mp i co role October the g in arms and pronounced in fay our of the Constitutions of 1825. Lieut.-Colonel Montenegre was chosen temporary commander of the place. " The former Governor, General Jose de lin Pictos, and several other officers, were taken into custody, and em barked on board the Danish brig Adelaide. After getting to sea these officers were landed at tNe Brassos St. Jago. " The revolutionists count on the influence of Don Vital Fernandez, a former Governor of the State of Tamaulipas. They have with them Don Manuel Nueces, a very popular and influential man, lately Chief of Pueblo Viejo. They have fifteen hundred men under arms, and are in communi cation with General Urrea, who began this revolution in the west, and is one of the ablest Generals in the Mexican service. " On the 11th or 12th of October General Paedras reached Nlatamoras, and induced the Mexican General at that place to march with 1,500 men for the purpose of at tacking the federal party in Tamaulipas and Tampico." (From the New Orleans Commercial Bulletin.) y , RULES OF THE BLOCKADE.—From the correspondenc e between the commander of the United States ship E r i e and Admiral Bazoche, it appears that all vessels that show themselves on the Mexican coast, are cowidered as medi tating a breach of the blockade, and as such will be de tained until the decision of the Government be known. We are informed by the captain of the brig Pastora, arrived yesterday in four days from Havannah, that nt the moment of his departure two brigs and two frigates, French, reached that port from Vera Cruz. There cannot, therefore, be more than one corvette and two brigs no , blockading Vera Cruz. It was rumoured at Havannah that the French fleet which is to operate against Vera Cruz wa s to meet at Martinique. FROM TEXAS.—By an arrival from Texa9, yesterday, by sea, we have received the Galveston Intelligence), a week later than previous dates. It contdned no local news of importance. The depredations of the Indian s on the f,•ontier still continued. The country between the Co lorado and Gonzales was so much infested by them, as to make it unsafe for persons to travel, except in companie s of five or ten. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The funeral of Marshal Lobau was fixed Err yesterday (Sunday), at noon, in the Church of the Invali,les Work men were employed on Thursday to decorate the interior of the dome for that ceremony. In the centre of the edifice was to be erected a rich catafalque, and scats and galleries for the authorities and officers of the National Guard. The interior of the dome and the choir were to be all hung in black, with silver " tears." A contest had arisen in Havre between the owner of the Phenix steamer and the Captain of the English sloop the Suzanne. It appears that the latter had run foul of the Phenix, and damaged her to an amount fixed by arbitra tors at 1,800 francs. The proprietors, anxious to secure the payment of the indemnity, prevailed on the Comman dant of the harbour to order the English sloop, which lay at anchor in the bay, to enter the basin. The Captain having declined obeying that order, the Port Comman dant entered a boat with several men, boarded the Suzanne brought her into the harbour, and placed a euard on her deck. The English Captain protested against this violence by hoisting his flag, but this demonstration not having pro duced the desired effect, he struck it to indicate that he considered his sloop as captured. He then delivt red up the vessel, aleging the necessity under which he was to yield to force. The case is now pending before the Tribunal of Commerce of Havre. 'rho following is from the Journal des Debals-- rh., petition for Parliamentary Reform presents itself to the Chamber under sinister auspices. It has caused dis cord in every town. It has set the municipal authorities one against another, divided the National Guards, made the Chiefs of the National Guard forget their respect to the representatives of the civil authority. It has in troduced the habit of deliberating on state affairs into a body of men with whom such a deliberation is unconstitu tional. It is impossible not to recegLise here the efforts of party. What happy fruits Reform offers to France when, at starting, it has thrown one of the greatest towns of France into dissension! A pretty prospect for the Chamber, if good sense was not there to put an end to such manoeuvres!" FRENCH FUNDS.--Psnis, DECENBICI 1. Five per Cents., 11Cf. 30c. 40c. 33c. 1 hree per Cents.

CONSTANTINOPLE, NOV. 7.—The report of a chang e being likely to take place in the Ottoman Cabinet, I regret to say, still continues to gain ground—of one, too, which, if it really be effected, will be the most unfortunate which could possibly happen at this moment, viz., that of the Capitan Pacha, who, it is stated, is now to he made Seras kier, and his place as Admiral to be supplied by Halil Pacha. Can anything possibly be more ridiculous than this? Ahmet Pacha, who has now been so long in com mand of the fleet, whose talents for naval tactics, whose experience really combine to render him the only man in the empire fit to fill the post of Admiral, is to be made Commander of the Forces, and Halil Pacha, who, though he certainly has once commanded the fleet, really knows nothing at all about it, but is, on the cortrary, a tolerably fair soldier, is to be made Admiral! I, however, for my own part, do not place any confidence in these reports. The squadron, in company with the three English vessel , now here, lent Vourla Roads on Monday last for Vassika Bay, and being now ordered in for the Rhamazan, which commences the end of next week, will, it is expected, be here in a few days. No mention is yet made as to whether our vessels are to winter here or to return to Malta ; but it is gene rally supposed they will remain. Letters have been received this week from Candia, which give full derails of the disturbances which I alluded to as 1 havin g lately taken place there, in a former letter ; but it appears that the accounts first received were very much exaggerated, the whole affair being nothing more than a party of brigands who, taking adv an t age o f the absence of Mustaph a Pacha, had landed on the coast of Sfakia, and endeavoured to excite their old accomplices to take up arms. The writer of the letter, however, states that had not the Pacha returned in time to put a stop to their pro ceedings, it is more than probable that they would eventually have succeeded in exciting the Greeks into a general insur rection against the Turks. Some Circassians, who arrived here by the Trebisond steamer of s,aetelko determined d y l tha a t st, the br w in a g nt oitfitaellfiogretncoen the etabt bay y tl o ie f Soujouk (or Semis) to establish their claim to that part of r t d h e a s c ()as grounds t shall for no longer di sp u t nte theg able le g t a o l it ybe of broughtthe capture fo r of the Vixen, have now succeeded in landing there, and are employed in building a fort on the site of the old Turkish one, which has been so long in ruins. There was, it is stated, some severe fighting between the Circassian and Russian troops ere they succeeded in establishing them selves. From Syria no news has been received this week. A Khat Sheriff hes been this week issued at Constanti nople, which from the fact of no law having previously ex isted for such a crime, will doubtless excite some surprise in the minds of your English readers, viz., ordering a se vere punishment for any doctor or vendor of drugs who shall aid any woman, either Mussleman or Rayah, in pro curing abortion. This crime is extremely common in Turkey ; and destroying a child yet unborn is thought with t i no us, more and of b in y consequence women o here i t t than large destroyingfamosare rarely if kittens ever seen. The enormous decrease in the Population in the last four years has doubtless been the cause of this law being made.—Chronicle. EGYPT. The following is a let ker from the Semaphore dc Mar seilles, dated Beyrout, ober 30 : " I hasten to forward to you the details respecting the gross insult just offered to the English Consul at Alexan dretta ; they are given me by a well-informed person, on whose veracity I can depend. " On the evening of the 13th of October the English Consul being at his window, saw at the foot of the wall an Arab employed in a way little respectful to the consular habitation. The Consul sent his janissary to drive him away. The next day eight or ten sailors belonging to the same corvette as the Arab returned to perform the same insult. " The consul, witness of this new outrage, ordered one of his janissaries to go and put a stop to it. But the janissary was overwhelmed with abuse, and was even de prived of the silver-topped stick, whichis the mark of his dignity. He was, moreover, beaten with the same stick. The consul, not being able to hold out longer, ran to the spot, and on seing more sailors e,,ming up asked the reason of such conduct, when the con , u 1 himself was as-sailed, and beaten severely. He got off with difficulty, having received a dangerous bruise on the head. "The outrage done to the Consul could sc,arcely he greater. But what will surprise you more is that the governor of the town refused the consul all satisfaction ; the commander of the cutter, who sailed on the same night, refused the same thing to the insulted consul. It is said also that it was the commander who ordered the boat to be scat to land, in order to insult the Britannic consur THE EARL OF DURHAM. (From the Devonport Independent of Saturday.) On Tuesday evening, a grand farewell dinner was given on board the Inconstant, by his Lordship to the officers, it b:ing fully expected that he would be able to land in the course of Wednesday. The violence of the storm, how ever, never abated, but continued the same throughout that night and the whole of Thursday, the Noble Earl and his family being thus kept. on shipboard for so many days though in port, and actually in sight of the windows of the suite of apartments prepared for their reception. During the whole time the vessel was watched with much interest by spectators from the shore, and indeed all the Sound presented an unusual spectacle, from the great number of merchant vessels who had run in for the shelter of the breakwater, and the utility of this vast national work was never more strong!) , exhibited than during the whole of this tremendous storm, the far greater number of them riding it out in safety, though unfortunately some accidents, attended with loss of lire, did occur. On Friday morning the storm had ceased, and at'a quar ter after eleven the Noble Earl and hid family landed at Government stairs. The party was composed of his Lord ship, the Countess, Lord Lambton, and the Ladies Lamb ton. They left the IncOnstant in the ship's cutter, and were received on landing by Major-General Ellice, and Captain White of the Royal Adelaide. , A crowd of per sons had assembled on Mount Wise, and the Slope ; and in his progress from the water's edge lie was repeatedly cheered, which he courteously acknowledged. He was dressed in a plain blue frock coat buttoned close, and ap peared in good health, though something of an air of fa tigue, we thought, appeared in his countenance. The - party proceeded immediately into Government House. Despatches arrived from London to Devonport on Tuesday evening last, which it was necessary should be immediately forwarded to Lord Durham. The pie king then at its height, no waterman could be found to under take the passage, but a man named Weekes was applied to, and he undertook to deliver them. He effected it by crossing the harbour, and walking to Cawsand, from whence bing to windward of the Inconstant, he was enabled to run down toher before the wind, and the despatches were safely pot on board at half-past eight in the evening. Had his Lord ship landed on Wednesday, he would have been saluted as Governor-General, but the despatches that arrived from London on Thursday, announced the acceptance of his re signation of the high office he held. He landed on Friday, therefore, without this offic;al honour. (From a Second Edition of the Devonport Tekrraph.) TELEGRAPH-OFFICE, SATURDAY, FOUR, P.M. PRESENTATION OF THE ADDRESS TO THE EARL OF DURHAM. The doors of the Town-hall were opened to the public at half-past one this day. The interior had been tastefully decorated with silk flags and banners, and presented a very animated and interesting appearance, a large number of ladies, members of the Corporation and their friends, and distinguished strangers, who had visited the torn for the purpose of attending the presentation, having been previ ously admitted by tickets. In a very short period the ca pacious hall was crowded in every part. Among those on, or immediately round, the benches, we observed— The Countess of Durham, Lady Mary and Lady Emily Lambton, Lally Elizabeth Bulled, Mrs. Edicts, Lady Bul ler, Miss Buller, Mrs. Rundle, Sir A. Buller, Sir W. Molesworth, Bart., M.P., J. Rundle, Esq , M. P., T. Duncombe, Esq.. M.P., G. Wakefield. Esq., J. C. Ellis, Esq., Magistrates of the Borough, &c. &c. A few minutes before two Lord Durham arrived in a carriage at the western entrance of the Hall. He was met at the door by the Mayor and Thomas Woolcombe, Esq., who conducted his Lordship to the Committee Room at the end of the Hall, where the following gentlemen, who composed the deputation, were presented : Messrs. G. F. Somerville, W. Clark, NV. Greenwood, D. Paramore, J. Oram, J. W. W. Ryder, J. T. Towson, J. Burrowes, V. Narracott, J. Maniconn, E. Gould, H. L. Richards, R. 0. Backwell, R. B. Oram, Bruce, J. Adams, Wright, F. P. Wingate. His Lordship, accompanied by the deputation and a large body of gentlemen, then ascended the platform in the Hall, where he was received by the most enthusiastic ac clamations., The Worshipful the Mayor then rose, amid loud accla mations, to present the Address ; and as soon as silence was restored proceeded to say, My Lord—Before I pre. sent to your Lordship the Address, which it is my plea surable duty on this occasion to do, I would be g to inform your Lordship that th e Add ress was adopted at a very numerous and respectable meeting of the inhabitants of the borough of Devonport and Stonehouse, which was publicly convened for that purpose, and while we were in th e hourly expectation of your Lordship's arrival at this port. I ought to add, that the Address was adopted with out a dissentient voice. With your Lordship's permission, I will proceed to read the Address. My Lord,—We beg leave to approach your Lordship, to tender the expression of our high respect, and to welcome your Lardship's return to your native land. We contemplate that return with mingled feelings of regret and satisfaction. We regret the termination of a mission from which we, in common with the country at large, anticipated the most beneficial results ; but we re joice that your Lordship's sphere of usefulness is transferred to your immediate home. W e feel that, under the circumstances which have ren dered your Lordship's return to this country a matter of painful but paramount. necessity, it would be unbecoming and uncalleu for, were we to enter in detail on the conside ration of your Lordship's administration. It is enough for us to say, we have regarded, with sincere respeet and ap probation, your Lord-hip's endeavours to temper justice with mercy ; and, while repressing rebellion, to plant the seeds of true liberty in a country disorganised by a long and disastrous series of events. Whilst, however, we abstain from entering on subjects which will in due season be discussed elsewhere, and which it would be indelicate to thrust on your Lordship's notice befor e you are more fully acquainted with all that has oc curred in your absence, our personal feelings towards your Lordship, and our regard for justice, will not permit us to conceal our impression, that party spirit has fac• tiously and prematurely blighted in the bud the fair fruits which the people of England had reason to anticipate from a full development of your Lordship's power. We desire to state, also, our full and earnest conviction that your countrymen will feel that the greatest allowance ought to have been made for your Lordship's difficult and embarrassing position, and that (recognising, in the open and manly expositions of your policy, the liberal and en lightened Statesman) they will unite with us in deeply lamenting those events which have deprived your Lord ship of the power and opportunity of giving full effect to your intentions. We believe, my Lord, that the people will do more. Looking to your Lordship for that firm and uncompromis ing support of Reform in the institutions of our country, which its social condition imperiously demands, they will hail with delight your Lordship's return among them ; con fidently relying that the cause with which your whole public career is identified, will derive fresh life and vigour, from your honest, able, and energetic exertions, in its behalf. That your Lordship ma y b e l ong s p are d t o justify these views, and to complete your title to your country's grati tude, is our earnest prayer. (Signed) CORNELIUS TRIPE, Chairman. After reading the Address, Mr. TRIPE said, before I resume my seat, my Lord, I must beg to express, on behalf of the meeting and myself, our best thanks for the kindness and condescension shown by your Lordship in meeting us to-day at this hall, in ac cordance with the wishes of the public. The Earl of Dueilam then read the following answer : Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen— I beg you to accept my warmest thanks for the expres sions of good will and esteem with which you have greeted my return to England. You will never have reason to repent the confidence that you have placed in me, or the declaration which you have this day made of your approbation of my government in British North America. So far as it seemed to me impe ratively necessary, in order to allay the most alarming irri tation and excitement in the Canadas, and to lead men's minds from the contemplation of present evils to the pros pect of future remedies, I have already explained the na ture and scope of the policy which I pursued as Governor- General. Upon that subject I shall, when Parliament meets, be prepared to make a representation of facts wholly unknown here, and disclosures of which the Parliament and people of this country have no conception, and I shall then fearlessly demand from the assembled Legis lature that justice which neither they nor the people of England ever will deny to a public servant, who has faithfully and honestly discharged the duties assigned to him. What relates to myself, however, is of no im portance, when compared with the interests of your fellow-subjects--the inhabitants of British North America. To the furtherance of those interests I have publicly and solemnly declared that I would deveta myself with single ness of purpose, and independently of all party considera tions in this country. lam glad of au opportunity . at the v,t y ilanneot of landing in England to ri peat teat. pLaige. The necessity fir this course is well uoderst nod by the people of British America, and before long will be also comprehended by the p.-ogle of England, involving as it do , s the very existence of British supremacy all over the rld, and the efficient mainte• , ance or weak abandonment of that policy which is expre , sed in the words " ships , co onies, and commerce." Referring to the coeelu sion of sour address, and to the principles which have governed my political cointict at home, I eau, with truth, assure you that they arc unchanged and unchangeable. Th-y were formed on the maturest deliberation, and have been strengthened by observation, as each succeeding event demonstrated to my mind their soundness and policy. My attention, therefore, to the cause of that reform of our in stitutions.to which you allude cannot he doubted. It has been tested by the share I took in the preparation of that Reform Bill, to which this important town owes its poli tical privileges, and it has been confirmed, I should ima gine, beyond all question, by my declarations to the people of Scotland in 1834. I need not make any new professions —I have nothing to add to, nothing to retract from, those declarations, which, in my conscience, I believe to be the expression of principles alike conducive to the honour and dignity of the Throne—the security of Property—the prosperity of Industry—the promotion of wise and liberal Institutions, and the general happiness of the People. His Lordship having concluded, retired amid the warmest plaudits of the meeting. The meeting then loudly called for Sir Wm. MoLEswotyrn, and the Hon. Baronet stepping in front of the platform, proposed three cheers for the Earl of Durham. The call was responded to, and the cheers heartily delivered ; but as the meeting appeared desirous of hearing the Hon. Baronet, he said—Ladies and gentlemen, I beg to return you my best thanks for the manner in which you have received me to-day ; and to expre,s my grati fication al seeing so large and respectable a meeting as sembled to meet the Earl of Durham on his return from our North American Colonies. On the tit cumstances which had led to his Lordship's return, I shall not, for the present, offer any opinion ; and all I intend at present to say is, that from the information I hive received from the Canadas, my opinion is, that all that is necessary for the public to entirely approve of his Lordship's conduct there, is that he should have an opportunity of laying the whole of the circumstances connected ssith his Canadian mission be fore the public ; and when his Lordship's plans are laid before Parliament, I feel assured that it wi;l be seen that they were best fitted to secure that poition of her Majesty's dominions. I will not trespass on your patience farther than to state that it is, in my opinion, the duty of every sincere Rtformer to unite in assisting Lord Durham to carry out his views, which will, I believe, tend more to the peace and prosperity of the Canadas than anything else. The Hon. Baronet then retired, the meeting compliment ing him as the) had previously the Earl of Durham. Cheers were given for the Queen, after which, _ _ Mr. WooLco:%ißE said, G entlemen, I must call on you for one cheer more, and if you do not give it, I will never again recognize you as my fellow-townsmen. You must recollect that the eyes of this country are Lot only upon you, but that your fellow-men in America are anxiously waiting to see if the people of England respond to the Addresses delivered by the Earl of Durham before I a left that country ; and the proceedings ofithis day, wafted across the Atlantic, will carry gladness to their hearts. But more than your cheers are wanting, for it has been basely and calumniously as serted, in connection with the Noble Earl's return to this country, that he was wanting in moral courage. The Noble Earl has already shown his sympathy for the people of Canada ; and the time will soon arrive when his Lordship will make a statement n high shall cover his calumniators with confusion. I call then on you to j9in me in throe elvers for the speedy s3ttlement of the present diastrous state of affairs in Canada, and (here let your cheers be hearty) for the brave Earl of Durham. Mr. W.'s appeal was followed by a burst of feeling throughout the whole meeting. The - Mayor having left the Chair, Captain Foote was called to the same, and a vote of thanks and three cheers were given to the Mayor for his conduct in the chair. Mr. TRIPE said , L :dies and Gentlemen, I feel obliged to you for your thanks and the cheers with which you Lave honoured me, and I beg to assure you that, in acting as I have done, I feel that I have only done my duty, and that I shall always be inclined to act in like manner, as long as I continue in the situation which I have now the honour to fill. Cheers were then given for the Countess of Durham, and Sir W. Molesworth, and the meeting :,yoke up. LLOYD'S SIIIPPENG.-(THIS DAY• DEAL, DEC. 2. —Wind S.
